  1. POAndroid Crop LinearLayout Background

    copied!<p>In my android app I have a background that is used for sections on the screen (not the entire screen) so I'm trying to apply it to a LinearLayout. The problem is that this is stretching the LinearLayout to the size of the image. I want it to Crop the image. I tried using a bitmap and couldn't get that to work, tried putting my image in an ImageView within a relative layout and couldn't get that to work either. What should my xml look like?</p> <pre><code> &lt;LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:gravity="clip_vertical" android:background="@drawable/bg_blue_w_pattern"&gt; &lt;RelativeLayout style="@style/menu_layout" local:MvxBind="Click CalculatorsCommand"&gt; &lt;ImageView android:id="@+id/img_calculators" android:src="@drawable/calculators_icon" style="@style/menu_image" /&gt; &lt;TextView android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/img_calculators" style="@style/menu_text" android:text="Calculators" /&gt; &lt;ImageView style="@style/menu_arrow" /&gt; &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>Trying to use an ImageView with scaleType set within a RelativeLayout doesn't work either. The RelativeLayout size is always too large (scaled to the size of the image). What is wrong with this xml?</p> <pre><code> &lt;RelativeLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"&gt; &lt;ImageView android:id="@+id/background" android:src="@drawable/bg_blue_w_pattern" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scaleType="center" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" /&gt; &lt;TextView style="@style/menu_text" android:layout_alignParentTop="true" android:text="Calculators" /&gt; &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt; </code></pre>
